John Dos Passos JOHN DOS PASSOS, WITNESS TO OUR TIMES Written for the New Hampshire Humanities Council 1998 Chautauqua Program, "Beginning the 'American Century'" by Richard Johnson , Chautauqua Scholar, Dos Passos Interpreter, and Professor of American History, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona "Where do I belong? To whom do I owe allegiance? What is my country? Where is my home?" These fundamental questions are basic questions of identity which emerge among people when society undergoes rapid, fundamental change. The questions are social as well as personal, for they raise concerns about the nature of this society, its hopes and its reality. Such questions appeared at the beginning of this century in America. They continue to resonate even today among a large number of Americans who have lived in this century of rapid and startling change. Such questions were essential to the twentieth century personal and political odyssey of American novelist John Dos Passos. At one point called the greatest writer of his time, Dos Passos deserves our attention for his artistic achievements. But perhaps more important for us today are his efforts to answer the nearly universal questions which erupted anew in this "American Century." The first four decades of this century witnessed an enormous upheaval in social, economic and political events. In 1896, when Dos Passos was born in Chicago, America was still largely rural and just beginning to experience the first shock waves of a vast, industrial transformation. The horse was king, while Henry Ford's ubiquitous automobile remained a distant future dream. The most prominent African-American leader of his time, Booker T. Washington, had just given a public address in Atlanta, counseling members of his race to be humble, accept their inferior place in society, and concentrate on gaining technical skills rather than demanding equality.

11. John Dos Passos Per Daniel Aaron Chapter 15 of Aaron's Writers on the Left which discusses dos passos's early career. http://www.english.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/aaron-chap15.html

John Dos Passos per Daniel Aaron from: Writers on the Left by Daniel Aaron CHAPTER FIFTEEN THE ADVENTURES OF JOHN DOS PASSOS (pp. 343-353) UNTIL HIS REVIEW of The Adventures of a Young Man , Cowley had been one of the most intelligent and appreciative critics of John Dos Passos. He had read each volume of his trilogy U.S.A. with sympathetic attention although the bleakness of Dos Passos's "final message" clashed with Cowley's mid-thirties optimism about the out- come of the class struggle. "For all their scope and richness," Cowley wrote, "they fail to express one side of contemporary life the will to struggle ahead, the comradeship in struggle, the consciousness of new man and new forces continually rising. Although we may be a beaten nation, the fight is not over." Nevertheless, he ranked Dos Passos among the few serious novelists of the times. Three years later, only a few months before Cowley himself would break with the movement, he pronounced Dos Passos's novel of the Spanish Civil War his weakest book since One Man's Initiation (1921). This judgment, he confessed, "may have been affected by disagreement with his political ideas," but he found the novel tired and derivative as well as factually unreliable and its conception of human motives low and mean-spirited. In the summer of 1939, the Spanish Civil War was already a bitter memory, but for a few months it had been the one conflict on which Left radicals of almost every persuasion could agree. It touched "people of my sort," Cowley wrote, more deeply than "any other international event since the World War and the Russian revolution." To him, as to most American intellectuals, Communist and non-Communist, it seemed to lay bare without ambiguity "two systems of life": Landlords, the Church, the Military and Finance representing class privilege and intolerance; and the aspiring workers and peasants, artists and poets guiding "a poverty-stricken people toward more knowledge, more freedom, more of everything." If the Republican government lost to the Franco-Hitler-Mussolini coalition, then fascist-inspired insurrections "might be repeated in Czechoslovakia, in France, in all the free nations of Europe."

John Dos Passos John Dos Passos' most interesting books, by far, are the novels of the trilogy USA . In these pages Dos Passos invents the entire grammar of communication of the late twentieth century. There is nothing MTV or the internet does that Dos Passos didn't either try in USA or at least provide the imaginative foundation for. Quick cuts, slices of life, poetic vignettes of the imaginative life of historical movers and shakers, pieces of actuality mixed in with dramatic recreationthe breadth of Dos Passos' achievement is astounding. USA is about history and the individual's relation to history. Usually the relation is one of flotsam to raging river. Many times his characters find themselves riding the crest of a wave of enormous change that they can only partly comprehend. The trilogy is broad and wide, but the weakness of USA is in its lack of depth. Dos Passos doesn't concern himself with any connection that his characters have to a reality that is either beyond history or has nothing to do with the historic moment. But that isn't what Dos Passos is trying to do, and it is useless to attack a great book because it doesn't include

16. John Dos Passos dos passos, john Roderigo (18961970 dos passos was born January 14, 1896, in Chicago and educated at Harvard University http://www.uib.no/ped/dospassos.html

Dos Passos, John Roderigo (1896-1970) American writer, whose bitter, highly impressionistic novels, attacking the hypocrisy and materialism of the U.S. between the two world wars, influenced several generations of American and European novelists. Manhattan Transfer (1925), a panoramic view of life in New York City between 1890 and 1925, became immensely successful. Containing fragments of popular songs, news headlines, stream-of-consciousness monologues, and naturalistic fragments from the lives of a horde of unrelated characters, this powerful novel determined the style of the best of his later novels. His trilogy U.S.A. (collected in 1938), in the same style, expanded his panorama to encompass the entire nation. Comprising The 42nd Parallel (1930), 1919 (1932), and The Big Money (1936), the trilogy depicts the growth of American materialism from the 1890s to the Great Depression of the early 1930s. After the publication of U.S.A., Dos Passos underwent a change of philosophy; previously radical in outlook, his philosophy became increasingly conservative. At the same time his writing became less impassioned and his style more direct and simple. He continued to produce a great deal of work, including several novels, books of personal observation, history, biography, and travel. The best-received was Midcentury (1961), a novel in which he returned to the kaleidoscopic technique of his earlier successes to depict a panoramic view of postwar America. At the time of his death, on September 28, 1970, in Baltimore, Maryland, Dos Passos had finished most of a novel, The Thirteenth Chronicle. Posthumously published were Easter Island (1971), a travel book, and The Fourteenth Chronicle (1973), his diaries and letters.

19. From Revolution To Reconstruction: Outlines: Outline Of American Literature: Mod An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren. Modernism and Experimentation Authors john dos passos (18961970). *** Index***. http://odur.let.rug.nl/~usa/LIT/passos.htm

FRtR Outlines American Literature Modernism and Experimentation ... Authors John Dos Passos (1896-1970) An Outline of American Literature: by Kathryn VanSpanckeren Modernism and Experimentation: Authors: John Dos Passos (1896-1970) Index Like Sinclair Lewis , John Dos Passos began as a left-wing radical but moved to the right as he aged. Dos Passos wrote realistically, in line with the doctrine of socialist realism. His best work achieves a scientific objectivism and almost documentary effect. Dos Passos developed an experimental collage technique for his masterwork U.S.A. , consisting of The 42nd Parallel (1930), 1919 (1932), and The Big Money (1936). This sprawling collection covers the social history of the United States from 1900 to 1930 and exposes the moral corruption of materialistic American society through the lives of its characters. Dos Passos's new techniques included "newsreel" sections taken from contemporary headlines, popular songs, and advertisements, as well as "biographies" briefly setting forth the lives of important Americans of the period, such as inventor Thomas Edison, labor organizer Eugene Debs, film star Rudolph Valentino, financier J.P. Morgan, and sociologist Thorstein Veblen. Both the newsreels and biographies lend Dos Passos's novels a documentary value; a third technique, the "camera eye," consists of stream of consciousness prose poems that offer a subjective response to the events described in the books.
